CoB Computer Lab Policies and Procedures:

Because the subject matter of MIS and AIS are so thoroughly involved in the use of
computers, these concentration areas will normally have first priority on teaching
use of the BBC computer labs.

Before the start of each semester, the MIS and AIS schedulers will work with their
faculty to schedule the labs required. Faculty from other areas should make their
computer lab semester-long teaching requests through their departments' schedulers
at least 3 weeks before the beginning of a semester to coordinate with the MIS and
AIS schedulers. The MIS and AIS schedulers will attempt to make reasonable accommodations
to resolve conflicts. The teaching lab schedules will be passed along to the Business
Computing Services (BCS) staff one week before the start of the semester and published
online.

Ad-hoc requests for teaching lab use should be submitted at least one week before
the required date to the BCS staff for scheduling. Semester-long use of the labs for
teaching purposes will have priority over ad-hoc requests, which will be accommodated
on a first-come-first-serve space available basis. Faculty scheduled to use the teaching
labs are expected to make reasonable accommodations to resolve conflicts.

Who Can Use The Labs?

The College Of Business Open Lab (BBC302) are open to Business students ONLY - NO
Exceptions. Student are eligible to use the lab if they registered in a Business class,
or they declared Business is their major. Please be familiar with the COB lab rules before you access any COB labs.

If the person is not registered a Business class (after the official add/drop day
of the semester), or Business major, then they are not allowed to use the labs for
any purpose - even to "print one page".

Lab Usage Fees:

Many non-Business students will ask you "Why are the labs only open to Business students?"
The answer is simple - most Business classes include a $15 lab fee each semester,
and the money is used to purchase equipment, software, and pay student assistants.
We get NO money from the campus or the State to run the labs, so only Business students
are allowed inside. Because we charge money we must be sure to give them a good deal
for their money - so our labs must be reliable and accessible, and our staff must
be friendly, helpful, and courteous.

New Logon Accounts:

Your COB logon ID is your 9-digit student ID number, which printed at the back of
your Student ID card.

Your password is:

last 2 chars. of your last name + last 4 digits of your student ID number

For example, student ID # of John Smith is 000123456. So John should enter these when
logon:

User name: 000123456 Password: th3456 Log on to: LAB

You are required to change your password when the first time you logon. Make sure
you remember your new password.If you found you cannot logon to your account, please
contact the on-duty Lab Assistant for help.

COB Labs are only for COB students, and only COB students will receive a logon account.
